During a soccer match between Israel and Italy, several Italy fans put on an anti-Semitic display that included booing during the Israeli national anthem, spitting on Israeli fans and performing the Nazi salute; the Israel Football Association has already sent video footage from the match to its Italian counterpart so that those responsible could be held to account; Italy has already come out condemning the incident.

"The Italian part of the stadium was filled with Arab fans who had bought almost all the tickets," said several sources from the Israel Football Association. Another fan added that several "true" Italians—presumably non-Arabs—were shocked by this behavior and tried to stop it.
